OK what am I doing wrong?

I installed a P-III 800E (BX80526H800256ESL457) SECC2 in the board and set the soft menue as follows:

CPU Operating Speed: User Define
Turbo Freq: Disabled
EXT Clock(PCI): 100MHz (1/3)
Multiplier Factor: X8
sel 100/66# Signal : High
ACPCLK/CPUCLK: 1/1
L2 Cashe Latency: Default
Speed Error Hold: Enable
CPU Power Supply: CPU Default
Core Voltage: 1.65V

Running 14/26/2000-1440BX-W977-2A69KA1JC-QR BIOS

Upon reboot after detecting drives I get this message:

CPU is unworkable or has changed Please Recheck- CPU soft Menue

F1-Continue ESC-Enter BIOS Setup

I pressed F1 and the CPU is listed as P-III @ 800 MHz and the system loads windows (Win2kp) and runs fine when I reboot computer I get the same message and pressing F1 to continue the CPU is listed as 533MHz.

If I go back into Soft Menue the setting is 533/66MHz🙁

What am I doing wrong?

Could someone please post the settings that they have in there soft menue that has this chip running correctly please.

Sorry for the long post but this has got me flustered!

Thanks in Advance.

Thats weird, it shouldn't happen, but thats a weird one.. try setting your agp to 2/3 instead of 1/1 unless you had 2/3 already, that might cause it to crash..
 
heck ya, forcesho is right.. look at that agp multiplyer!! 1/1 is for 66mhz bus and 2/3 is for 100!!! Set it to 2/3 for sure!

Well since you solved it, let me guess:

If running the processors in spec, you can simply choose the p3 800 from the menu and don´thave to set to user default. I have the older nw bios and it lists the 700 as highest. But i assume that the qr bios has the 800?

Although, the AGP should SURLY be 2/3--
 
He said he set the Speed Error Hold: Disable and I guess AGP to 2/3
I have seen this problems before. It is usually cause by Overclocking. As in this case his AGP.
 
my geforce runs at 100mhz just fine, thank you!
I have a celeron @ 1gig (10x100) and my agp ratio is 1/1...
 
Its always the damn "Speed Error Hold"...🙂

You should still be able to POST even if the AGP is too high. The latest BIOS would have auto-detected the new CPU if the BIOS was cleared before booting.
